Our Story

In 2007, Mexico City became the exception by decriminalizing abortion up to 12 weeks of gestation. Abortion in most Mexican states is a matter of social justice since wealthy women can pay for private providers or travel to Mexico City or outside of the country while poor women are forced to risk their health and lives in back-alley abortions.

Our Community

MARIA's objectives are to increase awareness about women’s right to legal abortion, and to strengthen solidarity among people to believe in and defend women’s right to a safe and legal abortion.

The MARIA Fund has supported more than 750 Mexican women since May 2009.

Get Involved

For an abortion fund like MARIA, raising money is half the battle, because they can’t help women unless they have something to give. Donating to MARIA means women in Mexico can access a safe and legal abortion that they could not otherwise afford.
